So there is a global search and cooperation of energy. In this process, India-Ethiopia energy cooperation is an important issue in recent time. Ethiopia has huge amount of water, wind, solar and geothermal energy potentials. However, regardless of its enormous potentials the energy system is very much dependent on conventional fossil fuels and biomass. Only about 32% of the Ethiopian population has access to electricity. The rural people access only 8 present electricity. The Government of Ethiopia, under its latest Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) envisions transitioning from a developing country to a middle income country by 2025. Ethiopia’s ability to achieve this ambitious goal in such key sectors such as agriculture and industry is significantly constrained by current challenges in the energy sector. Therefore, there is huge demand of energy in these areas. India has expertise in Hydroelectricity, Geothermal, wind and solar energy. Several Indian companies gave the satisfactory performance in this field. Indian companies can cooperate to Ethiopia by sharing its experiences and providing technology in energy sector. So that Ethiopia can achieve its goal of 2025. India and Ethiopia having a good Cultural and Political relations for a long time. These countries can take the benefit of their good relations in energy sector. So there are large prospects of Indian energy cooperation in Ethiopia.
